Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reserves (Review).


Reserves (Review)

The review team looked at the National Audit Office findings, and there is comment on that. Of course there is potential in some areas to make savings, if not on the properties themselves, then on the overheads for things that are underutilised. However, there is a need for investment, so we have to try to see to it that the reconfiguration gets due priority in our planning rounds in future. We also have to see to it that reserves get the funds that they need, so that they can have the estate that they need, so that they can get the training that they need to be effective.
